Graduate on time for my age

Hi. I鈥檇 like to ask a genuine question, When I 鈥渇inished鈥 high school last year, I was awarded a Certificate of Completion not a high school diploma because I failed in multiple subjects mostly mathematics and I also have an IEP (I鈥檓 autistic) and only took one class in the spring semester of this year (and paid $150 for it with my own money) so I鈥檓 studying to get my full diploma hopefully by next spring, 2025. The biggest concern and struggles I have is my age compared to other students. Since I didn鈥檛 graduate with a full diploma I had to go back to my charter school to finish it and I鈥檓 19 now, and I鈥檓 supposed to graduate from a four year institution by 2027. And I feel kind of ashamed for it because I鈥檓 20 years old graduating with a full diploma when I was supposed to at 18. So my question is, Is it possible to accomplish my goal to graduate Community College in 2026 and transfer university and graduate in 2027. My major of choice is Fine Arts, and my charter school doesn鈥檛 offer AP exams so I want to take duel enrollment classes in community college. So ultimately, can I perhaps reach my goal and get my Bachelor鈥檚 in 2027? And will it be possible. I know it鈥檚 a very weird and awkward question to say, but it feels extremely awkward and embarrassing being older than everyone else, especially knowing that I鈥檒l be graduating late, and I don鈥檛 like the thought of that and I hope it doesn鈥檛 happen when I start college full time, so if you have any suggestions or advice please let me know!
